Review of Krampus (2015) by Lukechristiansc — 27 Feb 2016
Co-writer director Michael Dougherty (Trick 'r Treat) gives moviegoers the best Christmas gift also the best movie that's probably released during the holidays. Adam Scott and Toni Collete play a married couple, they have two kids.
They host her sister Linda (Allison Tolman), gun-loving brother-in-law Howard (David Koechner) and their annoying kids and the complaining Aunt Dorthy (Conchata Ferell) for the Christmas Eve party. The family bashes head creates a lot of tension, which causes Tom and Sarah's son Max (Emjay Anthony "Chef") to tear apart his Christmas letter he wrote to Santa.
Which makes the family's holiday a living hell when they have a snow blizzard and Krampus kidnaps Tom and Sarah's daughter Beth (Stefania LaVie Owen) and comes to get the family. I think Michael Dougherty and his screenwriters Todd Casey and Zach Shields are trying to teach us something here that we shouldn't give up our hope on Santa or on Christmas, it's trying to scare us and show us something it tries to teach us a lesson and it doesn't just try to scare people who haven't been good this year, it does a good job and has great messages but I don't think it might delivered.
But I think it did what did and I think it'll teach the movie goers something. 4.
